Pisces Conservation has the full range of surveying skills for every site. We will use dredge, core and hand-net sampling, kick sampling, hand picking, trapping and water quality analysis, to survey for fish, invertebrates, aquatic, emergent and terrestrial macrophytes, newts, and crayfish; our reporting combines in-house ID, data analysis, literature searches and consultation with local experts and statutory bodies.
